It's hard to wrap your head around what came first – the tree or the house. While it appears a giant oak has burst through the foundations of this property, on further inspection, everything from the walls to the staircase has been built around these gargantuan trunks.

This "one-bath tree house" hit the market in June 2023 for $3.4 million (£2.6m). The price was later lowered to a shade under $3 million (£2.3m). While it's not to everyone's taste, you can't deny it makes a refreshing change for a builder to work around an existing tree instead of cutting it down!
